#1 Product Hack: Break things down into teeny tiny pieces. I do this with both time (half-hour blocks) and projects. The smaller the task, the less likely I am to get anxious and overwhelmed—and it feels great to check something off the list!

#1 Product Hack: Do a little bit on the project (article, grading, whatever) every day. Even just 15 minutes keeps things moving and, when it's going well, you can always do more. But, when it's going poorly, you've done something at least.
Favorite Hobby: Yoga - I try to practice at least a little bit (see above!) every day and I teach a weekly class.
